All That Man Is:
Nine men. Each of them at a different stage of life, each of them away from home, and each of them striving in the suburbs of Prague, beside a Belgian motorway, in a cheap Cypriot hotel to understand just what it means to be alive, here and now.
Tracing an arc from the spring of youth to the winter of old age, All That Man Is brings these separate lives together to show us men as they are ludicrous and inarticulate, shocking and despicable; vital, pitiable, hilarious, and full of heartfelt longing. And as the years chase them down, the stakes become bewilderingly high in this piercing portrayal of 21st-century manhood.
Flesh [Hardcover]:
Through chance, luck and choice, one mans life takes him from a modest apartment in Hungary to the elite society of London in this captivating new novel about the forces that make and break our lives
Fifteen-year-old Istvn lives with his mother in a quiet apartment complex in Hungary. New to the town and shy, he is unfamiliar with the social rituals at school and soon becomes isolated, with his neighbour a married woman close to his mothers age as his only companion. As these encounters shift into a clandestine relationship, Istvns life spirals out of control.
